SUMMARY:CANCELED - The Antiquity of Irrigation in the Southwest
DESCRIPTION:Before AD 1500\, Native American cultures took advantage of southern Arizona’s long growing season and tackled its challenge of limited precipitation by developing the earliest and most extensive irrigation works in all of North America. Agriculture was introduced to Arizona more than 4\,000 years before present\, and irrigation systems were developed in our state at least 3\,500 years ago – several hundred years before irrigation was established in ancient Mexico. This presentation by archaeologist Allen Dart provides an overview of ancient irrigation systems in the southern Southwest and discusses irrigation’s implications for understanding social complexity. \nRegistered Professional Archaeologist Allen Dart has worked in Arizona and New Mexico since 1975 and has been an Arizona Humanities speaker since 1997. He is the executive director of Tucson’s nonprofit Old Pueblo Archaeology Center\, which he founded in 1993 to provide educational and scientific programs in archaeology\, history\, and cultures. Al has received the Arizona Governor’s Archaeology Advisory Commission Award in Public Archaeology\, the Arizona Archaeological Society’s Professional Archaeologist of the Year Award\, and the Arizona Archaeological and Historical Society’s Victor R. Stoner Award for his efforts to bring archaeology and history to the public.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - The 1894 Lowell Expedition to Arizona
DESCRIPTION:In 1894 an Easterner named Andrew Douglass explored Arizona Territory in search of an ideal site to establish an astronomical observatory for Bostonian Percival Lowell. Traveling by train and stagecoach\, Douglass visited Tombstone\, Tucson\, Tempe\, Prescott and Flagstaff. While making scientific observations at each locale\, he experienced a variety of unforeseen episodes. This expedition is a classic tale of western adventure with a twist of scientific intrigue. \nKevin Schindler is an award-winning educator and writer who has worked for more than 20 years at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff. Schindler was sheriff of the Flagstaff Corral of Westerners for 14 years and a board member of the Flagstaff Festival of Science for 16 years. Combining a dual passion for history and science\, he has presented hundreds of educational programs\, authored 6 books\, written more than 500 magazine and newspaper articles\, and contributes a bi-weekly astronomy column for the Arizona Daily Sun.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - The Science of Music\, The Music of Science
DESCRIPTION:Why do so many physicists compare the universe to an orchestra? Why did Einstein use his violin playing to enhance his contemplation of the workings of the cosmos? The connection of music to science was illuminated early on when Pythagoras divided a string. Not surprisingly\, from astrophysicists to quantum theorists\, the common key to unlocking mysteries is math. And clearly\, the study of sound\, acoustics and the vibrational spectrum intricately entwine science and music through mathematical computations. Understanding music’s physiological effects on our brains and the body is the goal of a growing number of studies by neuroscientists. Learn about the correlations between these two overlapping worlds and why so many high professionals are musicians and musicians\, scientists. \nJanice Jarrett has extensive experience teaching in schools\, colleges\, community programs and as a speaker\, from numerous free lance talks\, to Arts Encounters (UA Presents)\, to the Arizona Humanities Council. Post Ph.D. she continued her scholarly interdisciplinary research including music and the brain\, science\, healing\, and in culture. She runs a private music studio and like many musicians\, she is a multi-professional: adding jazz singer\, lyricist\, arranger\, band leader and journalist. She earned her Ph.D. in Ethnomusicology\, a masters in World Music\, and a B.A. in voice and composition.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Borders\, Walls and Immigration in Arizona
DESCRIPTION:The Arizona-Mexico border is a line of separation and a place of coming together. This paradox shapes the borderland region and its people in fascinating and important ways. In this talk\, Dr. Warren offers a historical and geographical overview of the formation of the Arizona- Mexico border and its evolution since the 1800s. The program discusses historical and contemporary efforts to demarcate the boundary through bi-national surveys\, the construction of fences and walls\, and policing. Warren will also offer a contemporary survey of what the border looks like today\, from the New Mexico line to Yuma. This talk is intended to increase awareness of the current state of the Arizona-Mexico border and the policies that affect the borderland. \nScott Warren is a cultural geographer who lives in Ajo\, Arizona. As an academic geographer he researches and teaches about the intersection of people and place at the Mexico-U.S. border. He works to bring the experiences of the Arizona-Sonora borderlands into his classrooms\, while at the same time getting students out of the classroom and into the Arizona-Sonora borderlands. Scott favorite past time is exploring Arizona’s beautiful landscapes and important places.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Water in Arizona: Sustainability\, Supply and Demand
DESCRIPTION:Water is necessary for life\, but as supply shrinks\, choices must be made about who is given access to water and who isn’t. Communities across Arizona are going dry. This means that some residents may have no choice except to move. How do we decide who gets access to water\, and who does not? Should the needs of the many be placed above the needs of the few? How do we address the social and moral issues raised by competition for scarce resources\, locally\, regionally and nationwide? Join us for a discussion about water in Arizona\, sustainability and the supply/demand imbalance. \nPaul Hirt is a Professor of History\, Senior Sustainability Scholar\, and member of the public history faculty at Arizona State University. He specializes in the American West\, environmental history\, and sustainability studies. Hirt’s publications include a 2012 monograph on the history of electric power in the US Northwest and British Columbia titled The Wired Northwest\, a monograph on the history of national forest management since WWII\, titled A Conspiracy of Optimism (1994)\, and more than two dozen articles and book chapters on various topics in environmental history\, including two essays on water and sustainability in Arizona. Dr. Hirt conceived and directed the “Nature\, Culture\, and History at Grand Canyon” project funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities he chairs the American Society for Environmental History’s Advisory Board for Professional Development and Public Engagement\, and he is an elected member of the Board of Directors of the Salt River Project.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Energy Resources in Arizona: A State of Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Arizonans are living in a period of energy transition. Cleaner\, renewable energy sources are becoming cheaper than traditional fossil fuel energy sources. Although this transition may be better for the environment\, its effects on the economies of some Arizona communities can be devastating. The rapid shift from fossil fuels such as coal\, oil and natural gas\, to renewable energy is having a profound impact on the Navajo and Hopi nations. How do we respond locally\, regionally and nationally to the impact of these energy transitions? What can be done to lessen the negative effects? Join us for a lively discussion about the economic\, social and moral impact of energy transitions in Arizona. \nPaul Hirt is a Professor of History\, Senior Sustainability Scholar\, and member of the public history faculty at Arizona State University. He specializes in the American West\, environmental history\, and sustainability studies.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Arizona's Great Escape
DESCRIPTION:During the night of Christmas Eve in 1944\, twenty-five Nazi German prisoners of war escaped from Papago Park POW camp on the outskirts of Phoenix and headed towards Mexico. These men were hardcore Nazis\, ex U-boat commanders\, and submariners\, who had successfully dug a nearly 200-foot underground tunnel that took four months to complete. Many people may have heard of this event\, but few know the details. This presentation tells the story of what happened to these German POWs and the Arizona residents who encountered them. \nSteve Renzi\, a University of Arizona graduate with a degree in history\, believes that every generation must learn about who and what came before them or else the lessons learned are lost. As a writer and photographer with a teacher’s certificate in secondary education\, Renzi is always searching for new ways of exploring our history. He has been published in over 200 magazine and newspaper articles and is currently a writing and photography teacher\, as well as a basketball coach.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Through My Eyes: The Impact of Implicit Bias
DESCRIPTION:We come from different places and backgrounds. Our life experiences and backgrounds can affect the way we see the world and each other\, for better or worse. What is implicit bias\, and how does it shape our attitudes and actions towards others? How do stereotypes affect our understanding\, actions\, and decisions? “Implicit bias” can cause us to have feelings and attitudes about other people based on characteristics such as race\, ethnicity\, age\, and appearance. How can we learn to navigate the world we see “through our eyes\,” and the world as seen through the eyes of people different from us? \nMatthew Whitaker is a decorated educator\, historian\, author\, social justice advocate\, motivational speaker\, and founder of the ASU Center for the Study of Race and Democracy\, where he taught for 16 years. Whitaker’s expertise lies in U.S. history\, African American history\, race relations\, social movements\, cultural competency\, equity and inclusion\, teaching excellence\, and community partnerships.  Whitaker has received numerous awards including the 2016 DLA Diversity and Inclusion Award\, ASU’s 2015 Pioneer Award for work on African American life and culture\, and 2014 DLA Inclusive Workplace Award. Whitaker has spoken throughout the U.S. and abroad\, and has been featured on CNN\, NPR\, PBS\, WVON\, and KEMET. His books include Hurricane Katrina: America’s Unnatural Disaster\, Race Work: The Rise of Civil Rights in the Urban West\, and his forthcoming memoir\, The Undisputed Truth: A Revolutionary Journey to Black Manhood.

SUMMARY:Arizona for Newcomers
DESCRIPTION:What is it that makes Arizona unique\, that gives it a different flavor from neighboring New Mexico\, California\, Utah\, Colorado\, Sonora\, and Chihuahua? In part the answer lies in Arizona’s longstanding habit of absorbing influences from its neighbors in matters such as architecture\, music\, and cuisine\, incorporating them into an already vibrant tradition made up of influences taken from around the globe\, and serving up a blend of visual arts\, literature\, and folk life that is unlike any other. In part it’s because Arizonans\, throughout history\, have insisted on being different—and in surprising and delightful ways. Tailored to newcomers to Arizona\, this humor-laden talk is an introduction to those various traditions and to sources for the further exploration of Arizona’s culture and all the things that make it unlike any other. \nGregory McNamee is a writer\, editor\, photographer\, and publisher. He is the author of 40 books and more than 6\,000 articles and other publications. He is a contributing editor to the Encyclopædia Britannica\, a research fellow at the Southwest Center of the University of Arizona\, and a lecturer in the Eller School of Management\, at the University of Arizona.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - The Most Courageous Arizona Journalist You've Never Heard Of
DESCRIPTION:You can’t find Laura Nihell in the Arizona Archives\, or any history book on early Arizona\, or any chronicle of Arizona journalists—but she was not only there\, she proved herself one of the most courageous journalists of territorial days. Laura owned the Copper Belt in Jerome from 1909 to 1912—in the midst of Arizona’s quest for statehood and voting rights for women—and stood up against one of the ugliest chapters in our history: The Chinese Purge. Jana discovered this woman in an obscure book and has spent years tracking down her remarkable story\, finding history wrote her out precisely because she was so courageous.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - The New Deal and the Civilian Conservation Corps in Arizona: Connections to Our Historic Landmarks
DESCRIPTION:The history of the New Deal\, and how Arizonans responded to its challenges\, is an inspirational story of how individuals worked to better themselves; a story of how communities took care of inhabitants and total strangers during drought and Depression; and a story of how we\, as a state\, could improve the lives of all and leave an important built legacy for generations to come. That legacy is still written in our landscapes\, buildings\, and communities. We use those historic sidewalks\, schools\, and post offices without knowing that they were built for us more than 80 years ago. Today we enjoy our parks and forests that were restored for us long ago. We can celebrate those ‘bootstrap’ labors and remind ourselves that we\, too\, can rise above adversity to improve our lives and the lives of others around us. \nRobin Pinto studies the evolution of cultural landscapes in Arizona and focuses on four issues of historic change: early settlement and homesteading\, New Deal federal work programs\, ranching on public lands\, and development of our national parks. She has an MLA and PhD from the University of Arizona. She writes historical landscape assessments for the National Park Service\, works with the BLM Heritage Technical Team to study landscape change at the Empire Ranch and Cienega Creek watershed\, and volunteers for numerous non-profit preservation organizations. With three other historians\, she recently completed a book\, Cowboys and Cowgirls around Ajo\, Arizona.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Water in Arizona: Sustainability\, Supply and Demand
DESCRIPTION:Water is necessary for life\, but as supply shrinks\, choices must be made about who is given access to water and who isn’t. Communities across Arizona are going dry. This means that some residents may have no choice except to move. How do we decide who gets access to water\, and who does not? Should the needs of the many be placed above the needs of the few? How do we address the social and moral issues raised by competition for scarce resources\, locally\, regionally and nationwide? Join us for a discussion about water in Arizona\, sustainability and the supply/demand imbalance. \nPaul Hirt is a Professor of History\, Senior Sustainability Scholar\, and member of the public history faculty at Arizona State University. He specializes in the American West\, environmental history\, and sustainability studies. Hirt’s publications include a 2012 monograph on the history of electric power in the US Northwest and British Columbia titled The Wired Northwest\, a monograph on the history of national forest management since WWII\, titled A Conspiracy of Optimism (1994)\, and more than two dozen articles and book chapters on various topics in environmental history\, including two essays on water and sustainability in Arizona.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Keeping Heritage Real in Arizona
DESCRIPTION:One may hear varying points of view when it comes to heritage – timeless creation or historical storytelling\, all are imperative. Keeping heritage ‘real’ is important as it ensures the posterity for Native Americans. The vivid landscape\, the many footprints\, timeless settings\, high and low points\, conflict and adversity – all are real. In this era\, people are continually evolving\, some focus on ideas\, some share\, some don’t. Still\, all are simply working every day to balance a modern lifestyle. Hear about some of the old ways to help participants begin to relate to what’s happening here and now. \nAs a tribal member of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community\, Royce Manuel has long played an important role in perpetuating cultural knowledge within the tribal nation by service to the Auk Mierl Aw-Aw-Thum. Royce maintains the distinction of keeping the Calendar Stick. Today\, he continues to record and initiate collaborative projects that will engage the Aw-Thum (O’odham) sister tribes in creative strategies of integrating the Calendar Stick concepts into projects\, design\, wellness\, math\, science and critical learning. Debbie Nez-Manuel (Diné) has a Masters in Social Work\, Arizona State University and is experienced in both non-profit and tribal communities.

SUMMARY:Pershing's Chinese: Asylum Seekers amid Chinese Exclusion
DESCRIPTION:In 1917\, Gen. John J. Pershing brought 527 Chinese refugees from Mexico. These men had attached themselves to the punitive expedition conducted by Gen. Pershing in pursuit of the Mexican revolutionary leader Francisco “Pancho” Villa from 1916 to 1917. When Pershing withdrew\, aware that the lives of the Chinese who had served his troops were in danger\, he requested official permission to grant asylum to the Chinese. The majority of the Pershing’s Chinese refugees were sent to Fort Sam Houston in Texas\, where the U.S. government employed them as “army wards\,” working as unpaid laborers in support of the war effort. There they remained confined until 1921\, when they were finally released by special federal legislation that allowed them to live and work freely anywhere in the United States\, but not become citizens. Most stayed in Texas\, while a few made their way to Arizona. Lee Wee Kwon (1878-1965) was one of the Arizona-bound Chinese immigrants. He made Arizona his new home and played a significant role in the development and growth of Chinese enterprise in Tucson. \nLi is currently a faculty associate at Arizona State University. She was an AZ Speaks Road Scholar from 2015 through 2017. A recipient of the C. L. Sonnichsen Award for best article in The Journal of Arizona History in 2011\, her writings\, concerning topics ranging from Chinese history to Chinese-American history\, have appeared in The Journal of Arizona History and some major magazines and newspapers in both Taiwan and mainland China. Li received her doctorate in East Asian studies from the University of Arizona in 2004. Since graduation\, she has taught at several institutions\, including Embrey-Riddle Aeronautical University in Prescott.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Arizona's Great Escape
DESCRIPTION:During the night of Christmas Eve in 1944\, twenty-five Nazi German prisoners of war escaped from Papago Park POW camp on the outskirts of Phoenix and headed towards Mexico. These men were hardcore Nazis\, ex U-boat commanders\, and submariners\, who had successfully dug a nearly 200-foot underground tunnel that took four months to complete. Many people may have heard of this event\, but few know the details. This presentation tells the story of what happened to these German POWs and the Arizona residents who encountered them. \nSteve Renzi\, a University of Arizona graduate with a degree in history\, believes that every generation must learn about who and what came before them or else the lessons learned are lost. As a writer and photographer with a teacher’s certificate in secondary education\, Renzi is always searching for new ways of exploring our history. He has been published in over 200 magazine and newspaper articles and is currently a writing and photography teacher\, as well as a basketball coach.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Energy Resources in Arizona: A State of Energy Transition
DESCRIPTION:Arizonans are living in a period of energy transition. Cleaner\, renewable energy sources are becoming cheaper than traditional fossil fuel energy sources. Although this transition may be better for the environment\, its effects on the economies of some Arizona communities can be devastating. The rapid shift from fossil fuels such as coal\, oil and natural gas\, to renewable energy is having a profound impact on the Navajo and Hopi nations. How do we respond locally\, regionally and nationally to the impact of these energy transitions? What can be done to lessen the negative effects? Join us for a lively discussion about the economic\, social and moral impact of energy transitions in Arizona. \nPaul Hirt is a Professor of History\, Senior Sustainability Scholar\, and member of the public history faculty at Arizona State University.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - The Gila: River of History
DESCRIPTION:Six hundred miles long from its source in the mountains of southwestern New Mexico to its confluence with the Colorado River above Yuma\, the Gila has been an important avenue for the movement of birds\, animals\, plants\, and peoples across the desert for millennia. Many cultures have sprung up on its banks\, and millions of people depend on the river today—whether they know it or not. Gregory McNamee\, author of the prizewinning book Gila: The Life and Death of an American River\, presents a biography of this vital resource\, drawing on Native American stories\, pioneer memoirs\, the writings of modern naturalists such as Aldo Leopold and Edward Abbey\, and many other sources. Think of it as 70 million years of history packed into an entertaining\, informative hour. \nGregory McNamee is a writer\, editor\, photographer\, and publisher. He is the author of 40 books and more than 6\,000 articles and other publications. He is a contributing editor to the Encyclopædia Britannica\, a research fellow at the Southwest Center of the University of Arizona\, and a lecturer in the Eller School of Management\, at the University of Arizona.

SUMMARY:CANCELED - Coded Messages and Songs of the Underground Railroad
DESCRIPTION:Communication and secrecy were key to the successful operation of the Underground Railroad. Safety was more important than quickness. Both fugitive slaves and members of the Underground Railroad learned to code and decode hidden messages\, and to disguise signs to avoid capture. There were code names for routes and code numbers for towns. A quilt hanging on a clothesline with a house and a smoking chimney among its designs indicated a safe house. The song\, “Follow the Drinking Gourd” served as directions to Canada. Using storytelling\, activities and songs\, this presentation will depict the ingenuity and resiliency used by those involved in the Underground Railroad to help over 100\,000 slaves escape to freedom between 1810 and 1850. \nDr. Tamika Sanders is an entrepreneur who decided to become an educator to help address the lack of minority faculty in higher education\, and serve as a role model for minority students who rarely see people of color in academia. Through her company Savvy Pen\, Dr. Sanders prides herself on working with schools to build inclusive classrooms\, conducting multicultural training for educators\, and creating interactive programs that incorporate arts learning to bridge cultural and socioeconomic divides. She hopes to continue using the arts to break barriers\, unite people\, and create social change.

SUMMARY:More than Pocahontas and Squaws: Indigenous Women Coming into Visibility
DESCRIPTION:This visual presentation shows how Indigenous American women have contributed service to Arizona and the US\, yet remain invisible in the media and stereotyped in early films. Nevertheless\, they have been honored in all areas of public service—law\, medicine\, literature\, military\, education\, and activism with awards such as\, the Presidential Freedom\, the McArthur (genius award)\, among others. Among some traditional tribal cultures\, women’s lives are modeled after female heroes and sacred women who exemplify and express courage and kinship values. Rites of passage celebrate female creativity and the transformative nature of women\, hence there was not a need for the concept of feminism. This talk presents cultural aspects of Indigenous culture and how women have contributed in significant ways\, not only to their tribal nations\, but to contemporary American life. \nLaura Tohe is Diné. She is Sleepy Rock clan born for the Bitter Water clan. She holds a Ph.D. in Indigenous American Literature. A librettist and an award-winning poet\, her books include No Parole Today\, Meeting the Spirit of Water\, Sister Nations\, Tséyi\, Deep in the Rock\, and Code Talker Stories. Her commissioned libretto\, Enemy Slayer: A Navajo Oratorio\, was performed by the Phoenix Symphony. Her new work\, Nahasdzaan in the Glittering World\, makes its world premiere in France 2019. She is Professor Emerita with Distinction at Arizona State University and is the Navajo Nation Poet Laureate for 2015-2019.

SUMMARY:Hyenas in Petticoats: How Women Struggled Against Every Trick in the Books to Win the Vote!
DESCRIPTION:As we celebrate the 100th birthday of the 19th Amendment in 2020\, it’s time to look back at the enormous effort it took for women to be granted full citizenship and the vote. History has downplayed suffrage\, as if it were just a footnote in American history\, when in fact\, it was the nation’s largest civil rights movement.

SUMMARY:Hyenas in Petticoats: How Women Struggled Against Every Trick in the Books to Win the Vote!
DESCRIPTION:As we celebrate the 100th birthday of the 19th Amendment in 2020\, it’s time to look back at the enormous effort it took for women to be granted full citizenship and the vote. History has downplayed suffrage\, as if it were just a footnote in American history\, when in fact\, it was the nation’s largest civil rights movement. Western women got the vote long before their Eastern sisters\, but don’t dare tell an Arizona suffragette that she had it easy. Arizona had its own dirty tricks. Jana exposes it all—the heroines\, the heroes and the haters. \nJana Bommersbach is one of Arizona’s most honored and respected journalists. She has won accolades in every facet of her career— investigative reporter\, magazine columnist\, television commentator and author of nationally acclaimed books. She currently writes for True West magazine\, digging up the true stories behind the popular myths\, with an emphasis on Arizona’s real history and women of the Old West.

SUMMARY:Coded Messages and Songs of the Underground Railroad
DESCRIPTION:Communication and secrecy were key to the successful operation of the Underground Railroad. Safety was more important than quickness. Both fugitive slaves and members of the Underground Railroad learned to code and decode hidden messages\, and to disguise signs to avoid capture. There were code names for routes and code numbers for towns. A quilt hanging on a clothesline with a house and a smoking chimney among its designs indicated a safe house. The song\, “Follow the Drinking Gourd” served as directions to Canada. Using storytelling\, activities and songs\, this presentation will depict the ingenuity and resiliency used by those involved in the Underground Railroad to help over 100\,000 slaves escape to freedom between 1810 and 1850. \nDr. Tamika Sanders is an entrepreneur who decided to become an educator to help address the lack of minority faculty in higher education\, and serve as a role model for minority students who rarely see people of color in academia. Through her company Savvy Pen\, Dr. Sanders prides herself on working with schools to build inclusive classrooms\, conducting multicultural training for educators\, and creating interactive programs that incorporate arts learning to bridge cultural and socioeconomic divides. She hopes to continue using the arts to break barriers\, unite people\, and create social change.
